#### Embedding structs Embedding allows you to reuse existing model structs in more queries, resulting in less manual serialization work. First, imagine we have the following schema with students and test scores. ```sql CREATE TABLE students ( id bigserial PRIMARY KEY, name text NOT NULL, age integer NOT NULL ); CREATE TABLE test_scores ( student_id bigint NOT NULL, score integer NOT NULL, grade text NOT NULL ); ``` We want to select the student record and the scores they got on a test. Here's how we'd usually do that: ```sql -- name: ScoreAndTests :many SELECT students.*, test_scores.* FROM students JOIN test_scores ON test_scores.student_id = students.id WHERE students.id = $1; ``` When using Go, sqlc will produce a struct like this: ```go type ScoreAndTestsRow struct { ID int64 Name string Age int32 StudentID int64 Score int32 Grade string } ``` With embedding, the struct will contain a model for both tables instead of a flattened list of columns. ```sql -- name: ScoreAndTests :many SELECT sqlc.embed(students), sqlc.embed(test_scores) FROM students JOIN test_scores ON test_scores.student_id = students.id WHERE students.id = $1; ``` ``` type ScoreAndTestsRow struct { Student Student TestScore TestScore } ```
